You may think we’re lying, but we’re not because THE Sterling Archer will make an appearance in Rock Band Rivals, the latest expansion for Rock Band 4. Once Rock Band’s March update is made available tomorrow, virtual guitarists everywhere will be able to control Archer during Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone.” As if anyone at all is surprised.

In case you’re utterly devoid of humor or lack good television sense, Sterling Archer is an on-again/off-again secret agent that works for his mother. However, he’s crude, rude, and childish a lot of the time in ways only his voice actor, H. Jon Benjamin, could provide. Yes, Danger Zone is a running gag. Archer’s show is still going strong on FXX with its eighth season about to premiere on April 5th.

When we received word that the Kenny Loggins mega-hit was coming to the Rock Band DLC Music Library, our thoughts immediately went to Archer,” said Rock Band Product Manager, Daniel Sussman. “We’re big fans of the show. In fact, you could say that we like Archer as much as Archer likes, well, ‘Danger Zone’. So we reached out to the good folks at FXX and Floyd County Productions to see if they’d like to do something special for Rock Band and Archer fans and they jumped at the chance. An Archer cameo in Rock Band was happening.”

Hardcore fans will be happy to know that Archer’s cel-shaded, 2D look will be retained in some form for his stage debut. The team experimented with the 3D animation look the rest of the game is based on, but decided that wasn’t true to the character. So Harmonix created a custom cel-shader just for everyone’s favorite private eye. PHRASING!

Other new additions include new punk outfits in the Rock Shop and a playable Normandy bass from Mass Effect. Just in time for Mass Effect: Andromeda’s release next Tuesday, but c’mon. This is Archer we’re talking about. He wouldn’t enjoy being upstaged by a popular video game. Regardless of how bad the ending was to the last iteration. Let us know what you think of the cool yet irresponsible agent coming to Rock Band. Will you rock out to the Danger Zone or make any other Archer references?

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
